"Aaand... done." Lua finished his repairs on Arc, sighing in relief. He had fully restored Arc to his former state after working tirelessly, and he felt quite content with how things had turned out. It looked like nothing had ever happened to him in the first place, but the memories remained.
Those memories served as a bitter reminder of what poor planning lead to. Lua was determined to never let such a thing occur again, as next time, they may very well end up dead. Accordingly, Lua now desperately wanted to evolve to Grade 9. He felt his willpower alone was no longer enough and that stagnation would eventually lead to his death.
